Mina bit her pencil. She tried to concentrate on her schoolwork but somehow everytime she looked on her textbook all she saw was Joseph. His face was so familiar that she almost recognized him. Silver hair....I swear that I'd seen someone with silver hair. But where.... Mina closed her eyes as she tried to remember. Silver hair....silver hair...
"Arghh," she cried in frustration. Mina stood up abruptly. She's going to call Amy to ask her about that silver hair. The more she thought about him, the crazier she will be. Picking up the receiver, she began dialing her number.
"Ami?" Mina asked.
"Speaking," a small voice answer.
"It's Mina,"
"Uh huh,"
"Do you have ever met, a guy, with silver hair?" Mina began asking.
"Silver hair?" Ami frowned. She thought Mina was going to ask her about math or anything that to do with their upcoming exam.
"Yeah,"
"Well....." Ami began thinking. Mina waited impatiently. She didn't know why she felt discovering his identity mean so much to her. "No, I don't.............wait a minute. OF COURSE!! We have met a guy with silver hair,"
"Who?!" Mina asked quickly.
"Don't you remember? Its Kunzite!" Amy clarified.
"Kunzite?!" Mina's heart sank in frust and fear.
"You mean Dark Kingdom is still around?" Rei's eyes widened in surprised.
"Yeah, I saw Kunzite,"Mina said quietly.
"But why didn't I feel anything?" Rei asked herself.
"Look guys, maybe Mina saw a man who look exactly like Kunzite," Lita came in and put a plate of cookies on the table.
"Yeah, Dark Kingdom is dead right?" Serena agreeing. She began stuffing cookies.
"Serena, how many mouth you have?" Rei crossed her arms.
"Huh? Um...one?"
"Then why are you acting like you have three mouths?"
"Huh?" Serena looked confused
"The way you stuffing three cookies at once make you have three mouths. Not to mention you look like a pig,"
"Rei! you are so mean!!!!!!" Serena began bawling. They began sticking their tongue out at each other. While the others had a big sweat on their forehead.
"I think we should forget Kunzite for a while," Ami spoke up.
"Forget him?" Lita looked at her skeptically.
"Cause we don't know anything about this guy and this guy hasn't destroyed anything yet," Ami answered.
"Maybe"
Four months years had past. They had forgotten about Kunzite. They all had planned what they were going to do when they had finished their high school. Ami decided that she wanted to continue study at university as her result was the best among all students in Jyuuban High School. Rei had thought about to continue her studies but she decided not to because her grandfather was sick and the temple needs her help. By the way, she didn't trust Chad enough to take control. Serena wanted to stop study and find a job with Mina until she became Neo-Queen Serenity. Lita's uncle had phoned her to ask whether she wanted to continue study but Lita thought that she had trouble her uncle long enough so she decided to stop and help her uncle out. Serena asked Ami to study in Japan instead of oversea and Ami had agreed since Serena was going to become Queen and as her guardian, she should always to be beside her.
That night, when Lita had finished eating her dinner, her uncle phoned her. He wanted her to come to his office tommorrow because he needed her help. Lita had agreed since she had nothing to do tommorrow. Serena and Mina were going to find a job while Rei had volunteer to help Ami to pack her things up before she went to university.
"I wonder what kind of help Uncle Bob wants?" Lita pictured herself, cleaning his office. Lita smiled. Her uncle's office was always a mess.
She untied her ponytail and brushed it. Then she tucked herself in the blanket before she closed her table lamp and fall into a deep slumber.
"Come in,"
Lita opened the door silently and closed the door. Her uncle smiled at her before he hugged her. "You had grown so big that I can't barely recognize you at first place!" He told Lita to sit down.
"What do you want me to do?" Lita asked him. "Well, I need you to make a contract with this company, Stanton Industries,"
"The biggest company in Tokyo?" Lita cut in. "Make it Japan. This is the biggest and the most important contract I've ever got,"
"And you me to make deal with him?" He nodded his head.
"Why can you asked someone else? Someone who is more exprience?" Lita leaned against the table.
"I don't know. I got this kind of feeling that choosing you is the best choice," He answered her with a simple answer. Lita tried to protest as her uncle handed her the file.
"Please Lita," he spoke first before Lita could protest. Lita sighed. She is not ready to start working, not yet. But still, her uncle had helped her in so many things and so many ways and she didn't want to say no. In his eyes she knew he'd put such a big responsiblity on her shoulder. She was afraid to fail him by dropping the responsiblity off her shoulder. Bob waited her niece to take the file. Slowly Lita reached for the file and saw her uncle smiling widely.
"Thanks Lita," Lita just smiled reluctantly. "The meeting will be held on Thursday...."
"WHAT?!! But that's two days away! I got to learn how to speak, how to smile, how to sit, how to dress up and most of all is how to make a deal! And you think I can stuff in all that in my head in just TWO DAYS!!!!" Lita sat up abruptly.
"Calm down, will you? Two days is not a big deal. You've spent five years learning that," he said calmly.
"Huh? Five years?" Lita looked confused. "Since you live alone in that apartment, I know that you'd been learning on how to associate, how to socialize with person," he explained. I don't know being involve in a fight is called socialize. Lita thought.
"You'd learning from people surround you especially your four best friends," he smiled. "You know about them?" Lita asked in incredulity. After all these years, she thought her uncle doesn't really care for her. He just gave money to her and that's it.
"You are my only niece and I'm proud of you," he reached her hands. Lita felt her eyes were hot. She blinked her eyes to restrain it from fell. It had been five years since she felt the love from her family. She missed the feeling of being loved and to love.
"How long must we cover up up our identity?" he complained. He was tying his longhair. "Until you stop whining," teased another guy.
"If we show up in front of them, will they recognize us?" The man with short blond hair. "I mean, after five years..."
"I can't face them especially him. We'd betrayed him in our past live and we'd betrayed him now. What make you think he'll forgive us?" he flipped his wavy, long chestnut hair over his shoulder.
"You are right. But if we stayed like this forever, will Queen Serenity forgive us? She'd sacrificed her life and her crystal just to send us to the future and we, instead stay in this big building, pretending we're the rich brothers when the fact is WE ARE TRAITORS!!" shouted the man with silver hair.
"Look! If you think teleporting ourself in front of them is a good idea, why don't you go see them?! I'll bet you'll never succeed by coming back in one piece!" Guy with long blond hair shouted back.
"Oh yeah? I'll try! Don't you dare challenge me!!"
"Then why don't you just go?!!"
"Only stars can make them stop once they got fighting," the brown haired man muttered. "You can say that again. Now is afternoon. Find any stars?" the short haired man joked. Both of laughed and the argument stopped.
"What's so funny?" the silvered hair man asked irratably.
